Domineering Daming

Itakura Shigemasa glanced at the other feudal lords and said, "Go, take 200 people and dig tunnels from the east and west sides."

Mao Li Zhonggong was stunned, and said: "The hall, this place is built around the mountains, there are rocks everywhere, it is impossible to dig through, and it is hard not to be noticed, it is completely..."

Maori Zhonggong didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was very clear. This method is completely useless.

Itakura Shigemasaki sneered, and said: "Thinking like this is the only way to catch anyone by surprise, don't worry, I brought the Fran cannon I bought from Xiyi, to blow up rocks when encountering rocks, and open mountains when encountering mountains, I will cover you well. "

Mao Li Zhonggong understood the meaning of Itakura Shigemasao, and said: "Yes!"

Itakura Shigemasa's victory or defeat rested on this, and after the confession, his heart was filled with anger, he looked at the head of Shimabara Castle with fluttering flags, his eyes were as cold as a deep pool, and said in a deep voice: "Half an hour later, attack! "

"Yes!" A group of people shouted yes.

Amakusa Shiro has been standing on the top of the castle, his calm eyes are more dignified.

Heizaburo said: "Bishop, the army of the shogunate is not besieging or attacking the city, what is it for?"

Amakusa Shiro said: "Are the congregation a little unstable?"

Heisaburo said: "Yes, I've been nervous for a long time, and I'm trying my best to appease you."

Amakusa Shiro said: "This is their conspiracy, tell the congregation, don't relax, don't be overly nervous, just wait with peace of mind."

"Yes." Heisaburo said.He didn't wear a teaching robe, but a Ming-style armor, and the weapon in his hand was also a Ming-style long knife.

Time passed bit by bit, and the morale seemed to be shifting, but the tension between the two sides continued to condense, as if the next moment the war would start!

Finally, following Itakura Shigesho's order, the artillery that Wa bought from Europe by smuggling was slowly pushed out, and a group of iron artillerymen stepped forward.

Itakura Shigemasa stood not far away with a cold expression on his face.

He didn't go all in, only 2.

Amakusa Shiro saw that Itakura Shigemasa finally moved, and he felt relieved, and a cannon was pushed out of the wall, and there were many artillerymen trained in the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers on the fort held binoculars and watched every move of Itakura Shigemasa's army, and the flags kept the soldiers waving.

Obviously, both sides are very cautious and are slowly testing, waiting for each other to enter the war distance.

Amakusa Shiro on the tower looked at the approaching shogunate army with an indifferent expression.

Obviously, the shogunate army has not been idle in the past few years. These troops are far better than the previous few years, and they also have Xiyi artillery.

"Prepare."

Amakusa Shiro showed no fear, and raised the silver cane in his hand.

Chapter 1334 Huge meat grinder

Amakusa Shiro watched the shogunate army approaching, watched the cannon continue to advance, and quietly went up a high slope.

He raised the silver stick in his hand high, put down the binoculars, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fire!"

Bang bang bang!

Following his order, more than 200 cannons fired in unison, exploding suddenly like thunder.

These shells whizzed out with green smoke, and they didn't rush towards the shogunate warriors who were rushing, but towards the high slope, the artillery position!

Boom boom boom!

The shells exploded one after another, rolling up countless dust and covering the high slope in an instant, accompanied by miserable shouts.

Itakura Shigemasa had been watching the samurai rushing forward, observing every move on the top of Shimabara Castle.

But his expression was disturbed by this scene, and he shouted anxiously: "Quickly, quickly, withdraw the cannon, quickly withdraw!"

Goto Masao, who was beside him, heard the words: "Itakura Temple is too late, their artillery range is too far, and the cannon moves too slowly!"

These cannons were smuggled from Xiyi after the shogunate managed to contact the pirates, and there were not many of them. This time, they were also used as surprise soldiers.

If all of them were buried here, the shogunate would definitely not spare him lightly.

Thinking about protecting Mao Li Zhonggong, Itakura Shigemasa said solemnly: "As much as you can withdraw, hurry up!"

"Yes." Masao Goto hurriedly sent the order.

Holding a binoculars, Shiro Amakusa stared at their every move, and ordered again: "Keep an eye on their artillery, and don't let any of them go!"

The muzzle of the cannon was adjusted quickly, covering the position of the shogunate army, and the sky was turned upside down, and the fire was like a dragon.

Seeing that he couldn't save a few doors, Shigemasa Itakura's heart was bleeding, fear and uneasiness in his heart, his eyes turned to the samurai rushing towards the north gate.

Amakusa Shiro didn't pay attention to the shogunate's artillery, staring at the shogunate samurai rushing forward, whooping and shouting.

"Arrow cannon, shoot!"

Amakusa Shiro waved his silver staff and shouted in a deep voice.

The arrow artillerymen quickly stood in place, and shot out arrows one by one, sparks flickering like fireworks.

Bang bang bang!

These arrows exploded quickly, causing countless screams.

These arrows were improved by the Military Weapons Bureau, some were filled with kerosene, and some were filled with gunpowder. The lethality was insufficient, but the damage was greatly increased.

"shooting!"

The shogunate samurai who rushed over shouted, picked up the iron cannon, that is, the short gun improved from the matchlock gun in the Japanese country, and shot at it one after another.

This kind of iron cannon has the problem that the current muskets are difficult to overcome, that is, the reloading is too slow, and it is a one-time use for close combat or siege.

After they finished shooting, they threw it away immediately, held up their samurai swords, roared and continued to rush towards the city wall.

These arrow and artillery soldiers were all trained in the Ming Dynasty, and they were not well-trained. After a while of panic, they started shooting quickly.

Under the north gate, bursts of explosions were not so obvious amidst the sound of gunfire, but the smoke and dust billowed, the flames were everywhere, stumped limbs and arms were everywhere, and warriors suffering in pain were everywhere.Blood flowed into the moat and quickly turned red. The real blood flowed into a river!

Itakura Shigemasa's brows kept twitching, his heart felt cold, and his face was ashen.

He saw that, as rumored, the Ming people were secretly training these Christians!

These firearms are all from the Ming Dynasty!

Masao Goto looked solemn, and said: "Itakura Hall, it's not an option to go on like this, and so many people died after attacking the tower, those big names must be crazy."

A few years ago, Shigemasa Itakura led their men and killed [-] to [-] people. If tens of thousands more died, they still don't know how angry they will be.
